That yearly Milieu. There were mates still a’sailing, and some that were not, Others were wishing they were someplace that's hot. Some vessels were nestled so snug " On the Hard", It was rainy and cold down… at the boat yard. While I ran the computer I heard a loud Squawk, I thought for a moment ..must be "battery" talk, But what to my wondering eyes did appear ? Why, Old Cap'n Turkey came flying in here. A jolly old bird and his feathers were neat, I laughed when I saw him .. And got ready to eat. He smiled a big smile and he stroked his red Wattle, And gave me a swig from his big old Rum bottle. He turned very quick and I swear this is true, He was singing a song that I thought that I knew, Sort of Western Calypso.. a Holiday tune, Not “Gobble D' Gobble”, t 'was more like a Croon. That Old Turkey flew off ... To where? I can’t guess, But I did see him look at a small GPS, I heard him exclaim as he sailed out of sight, " Happy Thanksgiving y'all, keep your sailboat..... UPRIGHT ! “ ralph e. ahseln November 2008
